Islamic Da'Wah and the Role of Muslim
Islamic Da’wah and the Role of a Muslim
Introduction
Ever since man existed on this earth, he has been trying to know himself and in all cases in which he does not follow the divine revelations, he gets misguided and confused between two extremes; sometimes he thinks that he is the greatest in this universe and so he gets filled with selfishness, oppressiveness and arrogance that would drive him to disbelieve in Allah and to be oppressive and corruptive.
Because of this confusion that man has about himself, Islam gave a very precise and clear perspective about man. Islam clarified to man his reality, his origin and the different stages of creation that he goes through. Also, Islam clarified to man his good attributes and his purpose in this life.
The reality of man, the origin of his creation and the stages of his creation
Islam has clarified that the reality of man comes from two origins: The far origin, that is his first creation from mud when Allah (S.W.T.) made him and breathed into him life, and the close origin, that is his creation in the womb of his mother. Allah (S.W.T.) says in surah As-Sajdah, (Verses 7-9), about the origin of man, what can be translated as, "He is the one who excelled in everything He created, and He started creating man from clay and then made man’s progeny from a worthless fluid, then He made him and breathed into him from his soul, and made for you the hearing, the visions, and the hearts, and little thanks you gives."
Then, Allah (S.W.T.) clarified to him His divine care inside the darkness of the womb when he was a minute lump Nutfah (sperm). Allah (S.W.T.) says in surah Al-Mu’minoon, (Verse 12-14), about the origin of man, what can be translated as, "And indeed We created man out of an extract of clay (water and earth), therefore We made him a small lump (Nutfah), Sperm in a secure place, then turned the (Nutfah), Sperm into a leach, then turned the leach into (Mudghah), lump, then turned the (Mudghah), lump, into bones,
